About
I'm Jan Jimenez — a senior software engineer and technical lead with over 7 years of experience building and shipping complex web applications, from full-stack development to leading teams and defining technical direction.
I've worked across healthcare SaaS, e-commerce, and civic tech — taking projects from requirements to production, and making sure the teams around me grow in the process.
Outside of client work, I build and maintain open-source civic tech projects for the Philippines — because good software shouldn't only exist in enterprise systems.
Based in the Philippines. Working with clients worldwide.
Communication
Async-first — I respond within 24 hours and keep updates plain and direct. No jargon, no surprises.
Client involvement
I drive the work; you approve the direction. One decision-maker on your side keeps things moving and avoids back-and-forth delays.
Delivery
I ship in stages so you see progress early. No big-bang reveal at the end — you can course-correct along the way.
Lead Application Developer at a US healthcare SaaS company — the definitive technical authority on architecture and implementation, mentoring the team and driving application stability and performance through observability.
Web Development Team Leader at an e-commerce platform provider — led multiple developer teams across projects and established the team's development process and standards.
Senior full-stack roles — improved CI/CD pipelines and introduced static analysis and Git workflows that cut bugs and merge conflicts.
